Ostia Antica: Roman streets, mosaics and the village

Walk through Rome's ancient port city, from the Decumanus to the theatre, Capitolium and bath mosaics, at your own pace. Suggested route: leave central Rome; drive about 45 minutes to the entrance at Viale dei Romagnoli 717; spend three hours among the ruins, including the Theatre, Corporations Square, Capitolium and Neptune mosaic; allow an hour for lunch and 45 minutes in the medieval village before returning. Plan for about 6 hours 15 minutes overall and wear comfortable shoes on uneven paths. Park admission (€18 full price, check before booking) and lunch are separate from transport. Independent food options within about 2 km are Allo Sbarco di Enea, Viale dei Romagnoli 675, for Italian and seafood dishes, and Ristorante Monumento dal 1884, Piazza Umberto I, for Roman cuisine and seafood. Confirm menu, price, opening and availability directly; neither is a VIAOLTRE partner. Public transport also serves the site; a private car offers door-to-door pickup and flexible timing.
